  1. I’ve only recently discovered your podcasts and have been listening each time I drive from my small town in Alaska up to Anchorage (a 2+ hour drive). Today I listened to this episode while removing old wallpaper paste from my daughters’ wall while they are at camp…boy did it make the time go faster. Anyway, really just wanted to say how much I enjoy your podcasts and the chance to hear authors/illustrators share about their lives and their craft. I’m a school librarian and eagerly take in all I can about children’s lit.

    Kate DiCamillo came up to Alaska last year as part of summer reading programming, but I missed her by 12 hours or so, having been out of state after my stepfather’s death. A dear friend made sure to buy a book for me (Flora and Ulysses!), though, and had Kate sign it to “the bestest librarian”. The next best thing to being there.

    Thanks for the podcasts and keep up the good work.

      Julie, What an incredibly kind comment. Thank you so much for that. I am moved to hear that these conversations are making their way all the up to you (I’m from outside of Baltimore) and that they’re keeping you good company on your commutes and housework. I appreciate not only that you listen, but also that you took the time to write me about it. Thank you so much for that. Here’s to good company in your ears for many years to come!

  3. You know, I can’t think of a better way to have spent these 30 minutes of my life. I don’t know if I’m just sensitive today or what, but by the end of this podcast, I was crying! The privilege of sharing books—we are! 😀
